Abstract:We aim to characterise the magnetic field of the eclipsing binary CU Cancri, which
consists of two M-dwarf components. The determination of the magnetic field parameters of this target enables comparisons with both observations of similar stars and theoretical predictions of the magnetic field strength in CU Cnc. The target therefore provides an excellent opportunity to test our understanding of the generation of magnetic fields in low-mass stars and its impact on stellar structure. We used spectropolarimetri… Show more
